While teaching about World War 2 in my World History class, my co-teacher Mr. Culverhouse brought me this book thinking I may find it interesting. I honestly had no plan to read the book. I was already involved in two books and had about ten already in my 'reading docket'.
One afternoon after soccer practice, I picked the book up and began to read a few pages. Three chapters later I was hooked on this book.
This was a different type of biography. Each chapter had a 'theme'. Some of the themes were: Hitler's moustache, Hitler's doctors, Hitler's books, etc. The insight that the author provided was great. He did very good research. Reviews on other sights have bashed him for being anti-Hitler and showing too much opinion. My response to that is....it's Hitler!
After reading this book I'm even more convinced Hitler is more psychotic and sick than I previously thought. I'm still amazed how the German people could go along with what he was doing. There is no justification for what he and they did. Most of the time after reading a biography I feel as though I'm a better person. After reading this book it is hard to say that. The things that Hitler was responsible for doing is a black eye on all of man-kind. I pray that no one ever like Hitler walks the face of this other ever again.
